Padstow is situated on the North Cornish coast and is an important fishing port and a harbour of refuge, a haven for many visiting yachtsmen and fishing vessels. Padstow is probably best known for its celebration of the coming of summer with the Obby Oss festivities on the 1st of May each year. Also being on the culinary map of Cornwall for gourmet lovers with Rick Stein and Paul Ainsworth based in Padstow, Nathan Outlaw just across the Camel Estuary in Rock and Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen a short drive down the North Cornish Coast to Watergate Bay near Newquay. Padstow’s History Possibly from as early as 2,500 BC Padstow has been used as a natural harbour linking Brittany to Ireland along the ‘Saints Way’ from Fowey.

Legend has it that St Petroc possibly one of the most important of the Cornish Saints arrived from Ireland around 520 AD and built a monastery on the hill above the harbour. The harbour developed in the Middle Ages as a trading port for copper, tin and lead ores, slate, pilchards and agricultural produce. Welsh coal was imported by sea along with timber and fish salt. Padstow has always been an important community because of its position as the only sizeable estuary on the North Coast of Cornwall. The foundation of the monastery by St. Petroc in the sixth century finalised its site and the monks acquired land from Portreath to Tintagel. In medieval times the port grew and trade with Ireland and Brittany developed as well as coastal trade with South Wales. The Port had a thriving fishing industry and by the nineteenth century there were six shipyards. During the years when emigration from Cornwall was at its height, Padstow was the centre from where many people left to start a new life in the Americas and Canada.

In the 1880s shipbuilding declined because wooden ships were replaced by iron ones but the town was fortunate that by the end of the nineteenth century east coast trawlers made Padstow the centre of their winter fishing. The coming of the railway in 1899 gave a big impetus to the tourist trade, which had begun a century before. Trevone Bay grew from the 1890s onwards as a tourist centre. The twentieth century saw tourism become Padstow’s main industry. Through all its long history, Padstow has been a tightly knit community with a tremendous sense of belonging. The people of Padstow have justly been proud of its long history and important customs. Padstow May Day is well known nationally and internationally. The carols sung at Christmas in the streets and Padstow Mummers Day form part of its living tradition. The first stone pier was built in the 16th century and the inner harbour wall was built in 1989. The old town has retained much of its medieval and Elizabethan character and has 104 listed buildings of which St Petroc’s Church , Prideaux Place and Abbey House are the most significant.

Padstow rests in a deep valley protected from the prevailing winds of the Atlantic Ocean sheltered by a semi circle of elms protecting the top of the town that was built around the inlet on the west side of the Camel estuary. (Text and information on Padstow’s history supplied by Padstow Town Council ) Padstow, Cornwall | Ship Simulator | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit An overview of Padstow, with the town port on the right. The Padstow, Cornwall environment is currently the only add-on environment in the game. It is based off the county, Cornwall, in the United Kingdom and mainly on its seaside town, Padstow. The environment itself mainly focuses on the Cornish coastline, but also features a small port in the town centre. The majority of the population in Padstow is based near the port. Padstow is certainly not a large cargo or cruise port. It is more of a tourist attraction. Cornwall is a highly popular environment amongst Ship Simulator players, due to its beauty. However, Cornwall has no sights to see apart from the towns port itself.

Town Bar Even though a large amount of the population is based here, around the port, otherwise known as the Town Bar, it holds no berths for large tankers and therefore supplies are not easy. The largest berth at the Padstow's port port is only large enough for a ship such as the Wachthaven III . This is why Padstow is not a popular or ideal environment for passenger or cargo missions. The main missions based in Padstow are centred on fishing, piloting, or yachting. The port itself is on the edge of the environment boundary. The water isn't deep enough for big ships Hazards and cautions to vessels Padstow Bay is the entrance to Padstow and the farming areas (mentioned above). It is surrounded by small islands and boats, and is a very deep area, hence why there are The entrance to Padstow - Padstow Bay three possible starting areas for large ships linked to it (see below.) However, as you enter Padstow, the depth will decrease quickly. It is recommended for large ships to stay out of the area. Newland and other Islands Edit Newland Newland is an island just beyond the Padstow Bay and near the environment boundary.

Just like the other islands, it has no civilisation. It is the only island to be named on the map. It is near Rumps Bay, and has a starting area near it.

Padstow Statistics The parish and town of Padstow, (Cornish: Lannwedhenek), is situated in the Deanery of Pydar. It is bounded on the north by the sea and the entrance to Padstow harbour, on the east by the estuary of the River Camel and Tregonce Creek which separates it from St Minver and St Issey, on the south by Little Petherick (alias St Petroc Minor), and on the west by St Merryn. The original meaning of the name 'Padstow' was the holy place of St Petrock, an important Cornish saint. In the 14th century this became confused with St Patrick, hence the present name, 'stowe' being the English for holy place. The town of Padstow grew on a sheltered inlet on the west side of the Camel estuary, being the only reasonable harbour on the north Cornish coast between St.Ives and Bideford.

When St Petrock arrived in the 6th century there was already a settlement here. It has always been an important trading port as well as prospering from fishing and boatbuilding. It was from here that many Cornishmen and their families embarked for a new life in the North America after the collapse of the Cornish Tin mining industry. Padstow is an important fishing port and harbour of refuge on the North Coast of Cornwall, a haven for many visiting yachtsmen. A well-known fish restaurant owned by Rick Stein is now to be found in Padstow and he has appeared many times on television. The railway line to Padstow was closed in 1967 and is now the 'Camel Trail', where it is possible to walk or cycle from Padstow to Bodmin, via Wadebridge. On May Day every year there is a festivity called the Obby-Oss where the junior inhabitants assemble in the street and process through the town following a painted effigy of a horse, and singing in praise of St George. The origin of this event is propably pagan.

Padstow - Small fishing port, massive location – known for great seafood and an epic nearby coastline. - A guide by Cool Places UK Shop Padstow The small fishing port of Padstow enjoys a reputation quite out of proportion to its size.

Its location is something special, perched on the broad and beautiful Camel Estuary, close to fantastic beaches and beautiful countryside; the village itself is quaint and well-preserved, gathered around a small working harbour. But the real reason for its latter-day popularity is its gastronomic reputation, which has grown exponentially since TV chef Rick Stein opened his acclaimed Seafood Restaurant here back in 1975. Padstow has since become ‘Padstein’ as Stein has expanded his local empire. But the town and its visitors owe him a huge debt of gratitude, because the town is now by far one of the country’s best foodie destinations, with any number of places to sample great local produce. Add to this the fantastic scenery and location, and Padstow is by any standards a truly extraordinary holiday destination. History Once known as ‘Petrock’s Stow’, Padstow was named after Saint Petroc who arrived on the shores of the River Camel in the 6th century and founded a monastery here. Padstow developed as a fishing, shipbuilding and trading port, used for the export of copper and slate as the mining industry boomed throughout Cornwall.

When tourism began to overtake the stalwarts of Cornish industry, Padstow not only flaunted its craggy coastline and sandy bays to draw the crowds, but was also in a fortunate location – at the end of the direct rail route between London and Cornwall. The station closed in the 1960s, but the town’s decline in popularity was only temporary: Rick Stein’s Seafood Restaurant marking the beginning of the area’s revival, and the entire village and its surroundings have undergone a renaissance that sees it as one of the most popular places to visit in Cornwall.

– A Brief History Padstow celebrates Mayday in a unique way, and the custom that has been carried out by Padstonians over centuries has not been allowed to die out. The exact origins of the tradition is unknown, but like other festivals during spring it is thought to be connected with the ancient Celtic festival of Beltane. C.S. Gilbert wrote about what he saw there almost 200 years ago: ‘There is an annual jubilee kept up at Padstow, on May 1st, known by the name of the Hobby Horse, in illusion to which, the inhabitants dress up a man in a horses skin, and lead him through the different streets. This odd looking animal amuses, by many whimsical exploits, the crowd which follows at his heels, particularly by taking up water dirty water, wherever it is found, and throwing it into the mouths of his gaping companions. These tricks naturally produce shouts of laughter, and the merriments are accompanied by songs made for the occasion. The origin of the festival appears to be unknown.’ Taken from ‘Historical Survey of the County of Cornwall’, published in 1820.

Before the First world war there was only one hobby horse in Padstow, the old oss, but in 1919 the blue ribbon obby oss the was introduced. Also know as the temperance oss, its supporters tried to discourage the drunkeness associated with the custom. There are records of a few attempts to tackle the sometimes raucous behaviour asscociated with the festival, but none have ever worked. During 1837 some residents did not approve of people firing pistols in the air during the celebrations, and so rallied together to try and stop it by putting up posters which threatened people who did fire guns with a fine. – What Happens on the Day Mayday in Padstow starts at midnight on April 30th, when its inhabitants sing to the landlord of the Golden Lion Inn. They then carry on singing as they move around the town until the early hours of the morning. The next day some people are up early collecting flowers to display around the town. Tree branches are tied to lamposts and drainpipes. By around 8am children start to parade their obby oss’s in preparation for the main event. The maysong is played by accordianists and drummers while the supporters sing along.

The Blue Ribbon obby oss leaves the Padstow Institute at 10am to begin its tour of Padstow. Next the Old obby oss appears outside the Golden Lion Inn at 11am. The two oss’s dance round the streets followed by their supporters and at 12pm the old oss has reached Prideaux Place, where it dances outside in front of a large crowd, before it heads back to the Golden Lion Inn. The Blue Ribbon oss visits Prideaux Place later on in the day. The obby oss outfits are worn by various members of each group throughout the event, and they also take in turns teasing the oss. The teaser waves their teaser club in the air, and dances around the oss while leading it through the streets of the town. The two obby oss’s carry out similar parades at 2pm and 6pm, ending their day around the maypole on Broad Street. Just before it gets dark they are returned to their stables. All the supporters then meet up once again around the maypole at midnight to sing once again.
